TRAIL DESCRIPTION
CLICK FOR DETAILED DESCRIPTION
From Lavričev Square, runners will go around the castle walls to Vilharjeva Street, passing the Vena Pilona High School and the Sports Center, where they will cross over to the macadam path.
The slight ascent will thus continue to the hamlet of Čohi, or the highest point of the run, followed by a slight descent past the source of Hubelj towards Grivče. This is followed by a re-ascent to the source of Hublej and a descent along the educational path all the way to Vilharjeva Street, which leads to the destination in front of the Ajdovščina Sports Center.
The refreshment station will be at Izvir Hubelj, where runners could refresh before the descent to Grivče and the last descent towards the Ajdovščina Sports Center.
The novelty of this year’s run is the combination of 11 km and 15 km, where registered runners receive a 15% discount for both events.
Rado-Živa Children’s Park (additional activity for children during the event)
At the Ajdovščina Sports Institute, we make sure that the running event is fun for children. During the event, the Rado-Živa children’s park will be open, where children will be able to play.
